There has always been an unwritten rule in the Gym Challenge: the challenger attacks first.
After all, in terms of strength, the gym leader must have the upper hand. To be precise, as long as the gym leader takes it seriously, no one except a very few of the proud ones can withstand it.
If the challenger attacks first, the gym leader can roughly judge the challenger's level and then start the corresponding battle mode.
Looking at the coconut egg tree that Long Ye took out, which didn't have a strong aura, Xia Chen understood that Long Ye had underestimated his own strength.
Therefore, in order to make Tatsuno take him seriously enough, Xia Chen decided to start with a little intensity.
He said in a deep voice: "Meinas, freezing beam!"
Sure enough, after Xia Chen's order was given, Long Ye commanded from behind: "Coconut Egg Tree, use Flying Leaf Storm!"
There are no other fancy skills. The first confrontation in the gym competition is a battle between two turrets.
For Xia Chen, he wanted to let Long Ye see his true strength, and for Long Ye, he also wanted to initially judge Xia Chen's level through the intensity of this freezing beam.
The audience in the stands also silently closed their mouths and watched the confrontation between the needle and the wheat.
But just as Long Ye finished speaking, the coconut egg tree was gathering the grass energy in his body.
The biting cold air had already condensed around Menas, and an ice-blue breath suddenly shot out from his wide-open mouth.
Swish——
This was the freezing sound of a freezing beam of light accurately hitting the cheek at the top of a ten-meter-tall coconut egg tree.
boom--
This was the crashing sound made by the frost-covered coconut egg tree as it swayed and then fell to the ground.
Two consecutive sounds came from the battlefield, and the faces of the audience were not even confused yet, as if they had just watched a show.
Until the coconut egg tree could no longer climb up, there was an uproar in the audience.
…………
"No, just one move and it's gone?"
"After all, he is an experienced and intermediate Coconut Egg Tree. Even if he is four times more restrained, it is a bit unusual for him to be able to kill him instantly with one move, right?"
"Based on the average special attack strength of Menas, this Menas must be at least of the same strength level to be able to do it, right? This young man looks young, is he so fierce?"
"You haven't understood the point at all! What's scary is not the output of Menus, but the speed of its moves. The leader of the dragon hall's command was only less than a second away. As a result, the flying leaf storm here has not yet taken shape, and the freezing The beam of light has already hit your face, what is this?"
"That's right, the attack power of this Meenas is at the mid-level of the veteran level at best, but the speed of its moves is close to the elite level. What a monster."
"Wait, why do I feel that this challenger looks familiar? I think I have seen it on TV?"
"Damn it, isn't this the Xia Chen who had a close encounter with the legendary elf some time ago!"
"Hey, it's true!"
On the sidelines, many people recognized this young man who had been active in public a few months ago, and they suddenly became more interested in this interesting gym competition.
On the battlefield, Long Ye looked at the coconut tree that was instantly killed by a freezing beam, and fell into deep thought.
…………
Tatsuno originally thought that Menas, who was still far away from the senior level half a year ago, is already a big deal now that he has a senior and junior level.
That's why he chose Coconut Egg Tree, which was superior in strength and had restrained attributes, to test it out.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chen gave him a big surprise.
Moreover, the release speed of this move is incredibly fast.
interesting.
But this coconut egg tree is just the weakest of the elves I chose to carry.
Although Tatsuno had already lost one of his generals, after thinking for a while, he still calmly took out the second elf ball.
Red and white lights alternated, the fallen coconut egg tree was taken back into the ball, and the second elf that came on the scene was a double-axe dragon with sharp fangs and dazzling eyes!
Seeing this sturdy and ferocious-looking double-axe fighting dragon, there were already gym apprentices in the stands who began to educate the new audience about it.
"The owner of the museum actually let him appear on the second appearance! The strength of this double-axe dragon is already very close to the elite level!"
Generally speaking, the main purpose of the gym competition is to test the strength level of the challengers and select those who can participate in the alliance conference.
Therefore, the gym leader will generally make slight adjustments to the Pokémon on the field based on the level displayed by the opponent.
Long Ye took out a nearly elite-level double-axe battle dragon on the second elf, which showed that he paid enough attention to Xia Chen.
After all, Menas has been unscathed so far, and there are two fairy-type elves waiting for him in the back row.
Since it was a "understanding test" for Xia Chen, Long Ye must squeeze out all the strength of the opponent's three elves.
Long Ye said in a deep voice: "Double axes to fight the dragon, attack the vital points secretly!"
In the previous first round of confrontation, he had already let Xia Chen go first.
This time, he will not hold back any more!
…………
Although Xia Chen didn't know the specific strength of this double-axe fighting dragon, he could feel it from the aura he exuded. It was definitely more than a little stronger than the coconut egg tree just now.
There is no doubt that this is the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered on the battlefield!
Xia Chen's expression gradually became serious. Looking at the double-axe battle dragon running towards Menas, he shouted in a low voice: "Menas, cast the freezing beam below him!"
After hearing Xia Chen's command, Long Ye nodded slightly in approval.
If the target is a running Double Ax Battle Dragon, shooting at the legs is indeed a more rational choice than shooting at the upper body.
Not only because this can effectively slow down the progress of the Double Ax Battle Dragon, but also because in this state, shooting downwards leaves less space for the Double Ax Battle Dragon to dodge.
But if you think that you can stop me from fighting the dragon with two axes, then you are a bit naive!
Long Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't stop, just rush forward and listen to my command later!"
After all, he is not his old buddy, and the level of tacit understanding is not that high in comparison, so Tatsuno's command is more cumbersome.
But no matter whether the command is complicated or not, it just needs to be effective.
Strictly speaking, it would be inappropriate to call the move used by the Double Ax Battle Dragon a sneak attack on the vital point.
Because the double-axe battle dragon in the running state is like a rolling chariot, there is no sense of "secret attack" at all.
But this does not hinder the deterrence of the double ax dragon.
As if it was about to tear apart all obstacles in front of it, this powerful chariot approached Menas' position at an extremely fast speed.
Naturally, Menas will not sit still and wait for death. He is still the unbelievably fast move condensation speed that does not match his strength.
As soon as he spat out his mouth, a beam of ice that seemed to be able to freeze everything shot downwards towards the legs of the Double Ax War Dragon.
"Now, double ax fighting dragon, dodge to the left!"
With extremely concentrated attention, the Double Ax Battle Dragon paused, and then rolled to the left to dodge with an agility completely inconsistent with its body.
After narrowly missing the frozen beam of light, the Double Ax Battle Dragon did not look back at the ice track left behind by the ice light. He quickly stood up and continued to rush towards Menas' position.
At this time, the distance between the two was no more than five meters.
…………
"Oh! As expected of the elves trained by the owner and the owner himself, this reaction speed is really amazing!"
"Yes, he is afraid that if he tells the direction of dodge in advance, Xia Chen will immediately react and let Menus' freezing beam follow. This is a dangerous move, but the benefits are also huge. The double-axe battle dragon will be able to fight without any damage immediately. It’s hurting Minas!”
"If it hits a vital point, with the attack power of the two-axe battle dragon, Menas will probably be disabled even if he is not dead, right?"
"However, Xia Chen does have a fairy Eevee in the back row. Not only is it weak to evil-type secret attacks, it is also completely immune to dragon-type moves. At this time, changing the field is a good choice."
"But for Fairy Ibrahimovic, it's not a good thing to be approached when he comes out. What's more, I don't believe that the dragon master didn't let the double-axe dragon learn [Poison Strike], a move aimed at fairies."
There were various opinions in the stands, discussing how Xia Chen, who was in trouble, could break the situation.
But in the battlefield, Xia Chen's lips slightly raised, and he said calmly: "Meinas, it's now, Dragon Tail!"
Menas, who had just finished his freezing breath, immediately focused the dragon energy in his body on his fan-like tail composed of gorgeous pink-blue scales.
Long Ye's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he finally understood Xia Chen's intention.
The freezing beam is just a cover, it hits the best.
If you miss, there is also the [Dragon Tail], a back-up move that can force the Pokémon to bounce back into the Pokémon Ball.
The reason why Xia Chen dared to command like this was because Menas's speed of releasing moves was different from that of ordinary elves!
"Double Ax Battle Dragon, dodge to the left!"
At the moment, he could only hope that the Double Ax Dragon could react without him calling him in advance.
…………
I don’t know whether the reaction speed of the Double Ax Battle Dragon is fast or not, but it is an established fact that Menas’s moves are fast.
And his speed is not only the speed of the freezing beam.
In just a few moments, the rich dark purple energy flowed to Menas's tail, and the big tail that was originally exuding a beautiful luster became even more alluring.
Maybe it was the relaxation caused by getting closer and closer to the target, or maybe the speed at the end of the sprint was too fast and the car could no longer be stopped.
In short, the Double Ax Battle Dragon did not react this time.
He bumped into General Menas' beautiful erect tail. At first glance, it seemed that he was the one who took the initiative.
Immediately, with the entire audience stunned, the double-axe dragon that finally rushed in front of Menas after going through many difficulties turned into a flash of red light and returned to the familiar and warm Poké Ball.
The last elf ball in Tatsuno's waist popped up automatically.
What appeared on the scene was a desert dragonfly with a confused face.
So far, among the eighteen gym leaders in the entire Donghuang area, Ryuno Gym Leader, who is firmly ranked in the first echelon, actually showed off all his spirits in this gym competition.
This also means that, at least in this game, Tatsuno is already at a disadvantage!
